Personally, I only use MRs to reach status. Once I'm there (or know that I'll make it before the end of the year based on predicted travel), then I have no more need of MRs. How 'bout everyone else?
Will do my first one later this year.

Considering the pain that I anticipate from doing one on AA from FRA, I will only do it for status.
